Hey guys, 

We've got problem with out rhosts files for root.
We are using NIS on our suns and want the Next machine to allow a certain
sun as root. However even if we have +@name_of_sun root in /.rhosts (which
is roots login directory / - i mean), when logging in from the respective sun
it still prompts us for a password!!

Anyone had any similar experiences with this. ??
P.S. When I mean logging in I mean via a rsh or rlogin.


Any help would be appreciated.
Mitch
